My Kindle and I ...

I love my Kindle Fire to bits .. REALLY. I have a newer Kindle Paperwhite .. but the darn thing only holds about 1000 books, and it's black and white (duh) .. so I prefer to use my Kindle Fire .. cos it's a tablet, it has a much larger capacity than the Paperwhite and it's sleek and shiny and it has COLOR. Lol. Yes, so I like seeing the covers of the books I read in full color, OK?!

Anyway, I realized to my horror, that I currently have about 900 unread books there. And I still keep buying them on Amazon. Die la. If I was marooned on a deserted island, sure, I'd be thrilled my Kindle was with me, but how in hell would I recharge the batteries??!

The Hubby wisely said, solar powered recharger. I rolled my eyes .. yeah, right .. and pray tell, where would I buy such a thing NOW? Plus I'd be on a deserted island ... looking for food and shelter might just take priority over trying to finish reading 900 plus books. Just saying.

So, the way I see it .. I'd have to be stranded somewhere with a power point .. and a USB cable to charge to my Kindle .. and preferably without my kids .. or else there would be no reading happening if I had to look after them and forage for food for them ... or I can be stranded with them, but my maid must be there as well .. (lol) .. and it would be nice if food and cold drinks were readily available somehow.

Or .. I can just not even entertain the idea of being stranded anywhere .. and just read off my Kindle in my home. Where there are numerous power points available .. and TV ... and the refrigerator. And most importantly, my maid.

LOL.

Being stranded on a deserted island isn't as romantic as it's cracked up to be .. we saw that on "Lost" .. many pointless seasons of it actually. The only thing hot about being on that island was Matthew Fox and Josh Holloway (or Evangeline Lilly .. depends on which team you're on) .. and even then, it started to get sad after a season or two. I think I'd be one of the first to die if I were stuck on an island somewhere. No food? No cold drinks? No internet and TV? Please, just kill me fast ..



Besides, how else would I buy more books off Amazon without wi-fi? .. hehe.

Hot days ahead ..

Man, the weather here is killing me. Actually, I'm sure I'm not the only one complaining. It's hot, bright n freaking humid. While humidity is good for aging skin like mine (Lol) .. better than dry weather anyway, it's still a pain to live here.
Gimme the four seasons any time ..  I want to have nice, cool weather during some parts of the year. But noooo,  it's freaking hot here all of the time. Or it rains. Then it's hot again. *Sigh*
I've started wearing these sleeve type things when I drive. The sun shining through  my car windscreen used to burn my arms and cause them to tan - what the hell. 
OK, so they're actually meant for riders on motorcycle. But who cares. I tried sunblock..  didn't really work, so I'm praying this does. Here's a pic.

And here's a photo of me and my little bunny .. hehe.
